In this case, it was not through childbirth but by Marriage and friendship. Darryl Hartley was sitting in his gun shop going over some gun orders when his nephew his sister's boy Lonnie came in. The boy reminded Darryl of himself when he was in high school but more athletic. Lonnie was a 6ft 3 inch 225lb junior linebacker with long blond hair to his shoulders that his father hated. Who in turn was a very large man himself that stood 6ft 6inches and weighed close to 265lbs with this flaming red hair that he kept in a butch haircut. He had this milk white skin. His name was Claude Pearson he was a former Marine of 20 years that could not get into the special-forces unit. Claude was an enforcer for the Arian Brotherhood in that area. "Lonnie said" "Uncle Darryl we need to talk about my Dad." "Darryl said" "What has that block head done now to you or my sister." "Lonnie said" "He has quit hitting us since you told him you would kill him so it is not that. Well Unc my girlfriend is this little Mexican girl named Mona. Her family has only been in the United States for the past seven years and they got their citizen ship several years ago. "Darryl said" "What does your idiot father plan on doing" "Lonnie said" " I overheard him talking with one of his Arian Brotherhood buddies about getting together and disposing of some Mexican trash. He has been asking me questions about where Mona's parents live where her father works does. That sort of stuff from me" "Lonnie continued" "He still beats my mom when he does not think I am around then tells her if she tells me or you he will kill her and me" "Darryl said" "We will see who is going to kill who." With that, Darryl picked up the phone and called Lance. "Darryl said" "Lance I need to talk with you on an urgent life and death matter and your help if you are able to supply it." "Lance said" "Are you in trouble my friend?" "Darryl said" "I just need to rid myself of a problem for my nephew and sister" "Darryl said" "We have been friends since junior high. You have been coming into my shop for the last few years getting different hunting equipment. I never said anything nor asked any question or asked you for anything. I need someone who I can trust." "Lance said" "I will be at your gun shop within the hour. I am going to bring along someone is that Ok." "Darryl said" "That is ok with me so long as you trust the person" Lance and Stephen showed up at Hartly's Gun and Ammo within an hour. "Lance said" "Darryl I would like you to meet my Brother Stephen he is a gun aficionado like you." "Darryl shook Stephens hand said" "See anything you like? "Stephen smiling said" "I like it all". Darryl introduced Lonnie and the four of them began to talk, with Lonnie explaining about his dad. When Lance shook Lonnie's hand, he felt a warm feeling come over him. He looked into Lonnie's eyes smiled "said" "You are one of us." "Darryl said to Lonnie" " You know I am going to have to kill your Dad that is if Lance and Stephen will help me with the Arian Brotherhood." " Lance said" "That is not a problem you are my friend you helped me when I needed some weapons even though you felt the purpose of the weapons was not for hunting." Stephen "said," "Do you even have to ask of course I am in" "Lance said" " I want everyone to meet here this Saturday morning then we will go to Lonnie's girlfriend's house to meet her and her parents." "Darryl said to Lonnie" "Can you find out where and when your Dad and his buddies hold their meeting." "Lonnie said, "Yes I can. I am no longer a Pearson but a Hartley.
